The WCC


Exactly where does one start to explain the experience of attending the WCC? It was three days of glory, in the sun, for the bastard son of VW and Porsche. Shunned from it’s inception, and by most, still shunned to this day, it was our time to revel in the glory that we, 914 owners, were about to embark on a journey from which none of us would return the same. We will have our day was the loudest battle cry I have ever heard.

In the beginning, it sounded like another local get-together from those of us that looked at it from a distance. Protests over the cost and time were rampant on the board and each, one by one, was calmly answered by the organizers. From the protests grew an interest and then a passion to be there; to be part of the coming of age of events faded by time and forgotten in the fog of life.

Are you old enough to remember the glory days of Sports Cars? The rallys, the road-races, all the social events by marque and the burning desires to be the fastest, the best in your chosen brand? Do you remember the passions that exploded? Do you remember the absolute great times we all spent together? For us, the WCC was the recreation, if only for a moment, of times lost in the haze of our daily lives.

Then there were the “newbies”, those that weren’t even alive when the vehicles were built, burning with a desire to belong to that golden era. The stories their kindred have told them of those days began to burn brightly in their eyes. Could they, for the first time, experience the passions that were so warmly told, while sitting in the cold garage with grease and oil covering them. This was to be their chance, their coming out, to be a part of an event that would light the passions for the future.
